No weak at all. And Apple would be in better condition in their suits if they licensed. But since they choose not to license they have to fight everything out.

But calling Microsoft a patent Troll is not right at all. A patent troll is normally a none practicing company that is just in business to sue over patents.

Microsoft is a company that makes products that use the things that they claim patents on.

The bad guy here is Google. They knew they should of licenses Java, they knew there were issues with Linux. Microsoft been making these threats for years! Yet Google went through with it, they didn't indemnify their OEMS or anything. Its a mess and Microsoft is profiting off it.

In the end Microsoft is gonna make billions (If Oracle doesn't shut it all down) and Google should be held to task for not doing what they should of.

Oh and to those who think Microsofts position is weak, look at what Samsung did. If they were in a weak position, Samsung would of laughed. But instead they took a license like everyone else!
